gambler

i am a gambler.

i might lose it all,
but that slight chance
of gaining it all
is what keeps me going.

i gamble on love,
and well see,
the thing is that
i already have it all,
and so the risk is high,
but i am addicted,
addicted to both love
and to gambling;

i am addicted to it all.

but if one day i do lose,
well then i'll lose it all.

Funny post!!!
Gamble is all about taking risks but i bet you if you gets carried away with it,you can find yourself in an unstable position,one can even turn begger at some point.

Thank you. This is not about financial gambling, it is more a metaphor for love and taking risks at life daily, but even in that case, what you say is very true. Thanks once again.

Thats misinterpretation. Thanks for the correction.

Poems are open to infinite interpretations, and whatever you get out of it after a read is 100% correct and true, this is just what I see in this poem and what drove me to write it. :)
